Nollywood favourite Sharon Ooja and her husband Ugo Nwoke have welcomed their first child together — a beautiful baby boy. The actress shared the joyous news on her Instagram page, expressing overwhelming gratitude and happiness.
Two years after their fairy-tale wedding, the couple has entered a new chapter of their lives, with Sharon describing motherhood as a dream finally realised.
“You Can Officially Call Me Mama Win”
In a heartfelt Instagram post accompanied by stunning maternity photos, the actress revealed that her son’s initials are W.I.N. — a name that carries both meaning and intention.
“I’m still so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. 2025/2026, God truly ushered me into the most beautiful years of my life and wrote a story that only He can take the glory for. W.I.N., that’s his initials. I’ve always dreamed of being a mummy… and now I finally am. You can officially call me Mama Win, the yummiest mummy on the block.”
The announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans, colleagues, and fellow Nollywood stars across social media.
Sharon Ooja’s Journey to Stardom
Born on April 6, 1991, Sharon Ooja Nwoke (née Egwurube) burst onto the Nigerian entertainment scene through the popular web series Skinny Girl in Transit, where she played the beloved character Shalewa. The role quickly made her a household name in Nigeria’s digital entertainment space.
Since then, Sharon has built an impressive career spanning television, film, and digital content:
- The Men’s Club (Red TV) — as Jasmine
- Flawsome (Showmax Original) — as Ivie
- Oloture: The Journey (Netflix/EbonyLife) — as Oloture
- Glamour Girls — feature film
- Hijack ’93 — as Ada
She was recognised as a top female celebrity in 2020 and named one of the Nollywood actresses to look forward to in 2024 — a prediction that has certainly come true.
A Fairy-Tale Love Story
Sharon and Ugo Nwoke tied the knot in February 2024 at a private civil ceremony that captured the hearts of fans across Nigeria. Their wedding was one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year, with photos from the ceremony going viral on social media.
The couple has since maintained a relatively private personal life, making the baby announcement all the more special for fans who have followed Sharon’s journey from her early acting days to this beautiful milestone.
Congratulations Pour In
Following the announcement, Sharon’s Instagram was flooded with messages of congratulations from industry colleagues and fans alike. The stunning maternity photos, featuring Sharon in an elegant black outfit alongside Ugo in a casual black and grey ensemble, quickly became some of her most-liked posts.
